Right? I totally buy that the cops would start with the rooms booked by the “rapper’s entourage” because they’re shitty people.

Is this asshole representing himself? God, I hope so; it would break my brain to think that this guy has made (or makes) enough money to harass these people through an attorney.

this show is the best! though i’m pretty sure there will be a lot of ~hot taeks~ from people who 1. don’t watch the show, 2. don’t ever want to be the butt of a joke (even if it takes aim at many) or 3. want to wring their hands about timing and appropriateness

That seems right. I can pass in those circles until it comes out that I think the faux-spirituality of American Yoga and the sincere religious devotion to capitalism are ridiculous. Then those people feel mocked (they are) and I am shunned back to my proper place.

Thank god this is being hashed out on Twitter and Medium, two of our greatest sources of reflective thought and well-reasoned arguments.

Ohh, for sure. I think NYC’s dating scene is tough for most people but women have to deal with the typical online dating bullshit from men as well as the very real risks that men can pose women.

Hahah, you’re fine. I had more success on Tinder and other apps but those all kicked me out when I deleted Facebook.

Coffee Meets Bagel was fun when I had a Facebook. I actually kind of liked Tinder in New York; people seemed ready to meet (even if it only lead to a quick drink and an “okay, great. this was fun! bye...”) after a few messages which was cool.

It sucks, right? Sorry your matches have been dicks.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve had a few great low stakes dates and, actually, went from ‘dating’ a woman I met on OKC to becoming great friends.

I had success with Tinder til I deleted my facebook and the app kicked me out. OKC has been alright, too. It’s so nice to hear that you and your dude found something fun on a typically superficial platform. Best of luck!

I feel ya. I probably should’ve made it clearer in my initial post that I’m pretty indifferent about dating right now so I’m more perplexed and entertained by Bumble than disappointed.

Polished! Yes. That’s exactly what I see, too. Most women seem to be on an exotic beach or at a glamorous dinner and its entertaining but it feels so performative.

Haha, yuppies is exactly right. Someone else replied that the people on Bumble were very polished. That + yuppies seems exactly right.

Ooh, that’s totally a good point— ‘entertainment swiping.’ I didn’t even think about whether women would be more likely to do that on any particular app. In my experience guys will swipe for fun on every app but, yeah, not having to deal with the creeps would make that a lot more fun.

Huh, I wonder if that plays out beyond anecdotes? It would be super interesting to see where different, ostensibly national, dating apps have really taken off.

Yeaaahh. Online dating sucks. I’ve definitely experienced flakiness on every app but Bumble stood at to me. It’s totally possible that its standing out in my mind for a totally arbitrary reason. Good luck! Meeting (good) people is so difficult.

Real question: Does anyone have success with Bumble? I’m a fairly average looking guy (I think?) and I rarely match with anyone and when I do, they don’t message. I’ve talked with some of the women I’m close with and they’ve had similar issues starting conversations. Obviously (it is a dating app), the women I know…

Good. Time to kick all those #BernieBros out. Wait...which website am I on?
